Streaming “freeze” when watching live TV on YouTubeTV

Sporadically, my TV seems to freeze, with small letters “tv info” in gray font on a black screen.  If I tap the Home key on the Roku remote, it takes me to the home screen.  I use a Roku Streaming Stick+ SKU# 3810R with a Vizio TV.  Is my Roku device wearing out?

Re: Streaming “freeze” when watching live TV on YouTubeTV

@bneagle-

Going to the Roku home screen when you press the Roku Home button is the expected behavior, right?

I've never seen anything like that popup on my 3810 connected to a Samsung tv.  I suspect that popup is from your Vizio.  What happens if you press Enter (or OK or whatever it might be called) on your Vizio remote?
